Linen & Lilac

I am thrilled to write this long overdue review for Linda from Linen & Lilac. I hired Linen & Lilac, with Linda as my primary contact, to be my day-​of «plus» wedding coordinator for my wedding on July 25, 2015. I can honestly say that we could not have done it without her!
For the months leading up to the wedding, Linda started gathering all of the important info she needed, reaching out and following up with our vendors, and making sure all our «I’s» were dotted and all our «T’s» crossed. She kept track of details I would never have thought about, and her organization was exceptional!
Linda also attended our wedding rehearsal the night before, and was more knowledgeable about what we needed to go over than the church’s own coordinator! She is truly a pro, and her experience shows. On the big day, Linda made sure every detail was handled and every vendor was where they needed to be.
On top of all that, Linda is just fun to work with. She truly cares about her clients and making sure they enjoy their own events, from the start of the planning process until the last guest leaves the party.
If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, or any event coordinator for that matter, look no further than Linen & Lilac!

After looking for an interior designer for a while, we came across Linen and Lilac through a recommendation. From the starting of the project to the end it’s been such a pleasure working with Linda and Leslie. They came home to look at the space and measure things out. During this time they talked to me about what we like to get an idea. Color was what I wanted… and that’s exactly what they gave me. While they were putting mood boards together, I really couldn’t see how certain things would work in our space. But you have to trust them. They have a very clear vision. We were stunned by the final result!!! It was picture perfect!!! They are very professional. They ask you for your budget and stick to it strictly without compromising on the design. If they think some item is too expensive, they recommend an alternate and leave it up to you to decide. We are definitely getting them to design our second floor at some point. They are awesome!!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Linda and the L&L crew. Linda was there for us every step of the way, including during some tough last minute changes and challenges. She coordinated with all of our vendors and took care of everything we wanted and more. Linda is much more than a «day off» coordinator — she worked with everyone weeks out. A lot of our vendors told us independently how on top of it she was and how they helped her organize for the big day too. She made site trips without us asking and saved us A LOT of time and hassle. One of the first times I called her she was on her way to the venue just to check it out. And on the day of, she was perfect — she rounded up my crew of groomsmen (not an easy task) and made sure we were on our marks throughout the morning, without being in the way. My wife felt exactly the same. She truly was incredibly helpful and made the entire process much, much easier. Very reasonably priced and worth every penny.

Linda and Leslie were my day/​month of coordinators for my wedding. Look no further! They are the best. They were amazing for the following reasons:
— They handled all vendor communications leading up to the big day and sorted out all issues that arose
— They were exceptionally organized
— They advised me when I need advice and calmed me when I was a total stress case
— They handled awkward and annoying situations with grace and ease
— They did a beautiful job with set up at my venue, which is a spread out private property not typically used for weddings
— They caught mistakes over vendors made (and called bs when other vendors were bs-​ing)
— All of my other vendors commented at least once about how awesome Linda and Leslie are
— They are collected and super professional
— They are genuinely cool, funny and down to earth people. I actually want to be friends with them in real life :)
I can say from both my personal experience with L+L, and my professional knowledge of the spectrum of quality available to brides when hiring wedding planners/​coordinators, that L+L are top notch. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

I am so glad we had Leslie and Linda to help with our wedding planning and day of coordination! They are both extremely friendly, professional and organized. They gave me great advice on décor ideas and timing recommendations. They were essential to coordinating everything day of, from contacting vendors, to reviewing contracts and ensuring the day moves smoothly (so you don’t have to worry about it!). We really could not have pulled this off without them! If you are planning a wedding, I highly recommend working with Linen & Lilac.

I had the great pleasure of working with Linda from Lilac + Linen for my friend’s baby shower.
Linda was a joy to work with from start to finish. She came by my house to see our backyard and right away had a great vision for the day. We talked about budget and other details and after that we handled most everything over email. Linda accomplished SO MUCH with very little direction. I trusted her impeccable taste and knew that she would make the shower a memorable one.
On the day of the Shower it was nearly 100 and there was smoke coming over the ridge from wildfires and as I started to panic, Linda held it all together like a pro. I never saw her sweat. We re-​positioned the umbrellas, the wind changed and the smoke cleared and everyone had a lovely time.
One guest commented that it was the nicest shower they had attended. Another guest said, «I feel like I am in a Movie right now». Linda’s special touches made all the difference.
I could not have been happier with my experience with Linen + Lilac and I can’t wait to work with them again on future events.

Leslie and Linda are amazing! They were my day of coordinators for my 180 person wedding this February at the General’s Residence in Fort Mason, SF. That entailed meeting with us at our venue right when we booked them, and another meeting the week before the wedding to go over things. In between that time, there was a lot of email correspondence and eventually they took over all communication with the vendors. They were great right from the start, coming well prepared to our initial meeting, full of questions for me that I hadn’t even considered! They really helped everything come together perfectly and seamlessly. We would have been lost without them and I would recommend their services for any event! I’m so glad I stumbled across them on Thumbtack!

Linen and Lilac were the «day of» the event planners for my daughters wedding in February of this year. They were a Godsend. They handled every detail and the day went off without a hitch. Everyone is still talking about what a wonderful party it turned out to be. It was so nice to leave the worrying to someone else and I know a lot of brides think a good friend can perform this function but trust me, these women are worth every penny of their fee. Let your friends enjoy your wedding.

I WISH I COULD GIVE 100 STARS! Linda and Leslie are seriously as good as it gets. They worked so hard on my recent wedding and their efforts paid off and helped create the most special, amazing night of my life. From the first phone call to the actual wedding, Linda and Leslie were a DREAM to work with. These two sisters kick some serious @$$. They were so organized, so professional yet personable, and worked tirelessly to turn our wedding vision into a reality. I really can’t say enough good things about Linda and Leslie… I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a coordinator/​planner for a big event.
Linda and Leslie, thank you so very much for your attention to detail, your grace, and your hard work to make our day as magical as it was!!! I wish my wife and I could get married again just so we can work with you again! :) :)

My daughter was the lucky recipient of a baby shower designed and delivered by this amazing group! A Beatrix Potter theme was chosen and all the guests were blown away by all the clever and thoughtful touches. Beautiful flower arrangements, wheelbarrow with garden vegetables, little watering cans filled with flowers, clever games and activities were organized. Linen and Lilac went WAY beyond any party planners I have ever seen. The food at the buffet was delicious and the desserts even went with the theme! All guests were given lovely thank you gifts… custom cookies of Peter Rabbit himself with a carrot. No detail was missed. All of the guests… especially my daughter, felt incredibly special. From the specially designed invitation to the last bite of carrot cake, it was a baby shower for the books! I highly recommend Linen & Lilac… so professional and SO creative!
